Registering with the Practice
Register with the Practice
Before filling out a registration form, check you are in our catchment area using the map and postcode checker opposite.
We are using a new online service that makes it easy to register with this GP surgery. Just fill in this quick online form to start the process. You do not need proof of address or immigration status, ID or an NHS number.
Paper forms are still available if you need one. When you register via the paper copy the receptionist will give you Form GMS1 to complete. Your name, address, postcode, date of birth and, equally important, the name and address of your previous GP, and your address whilst registered with that doctor, will be required. The latter information is vital to enable us to obtain your medical records. The form also has a space to enter your telephone number, town and country of birth, NHS number and previous surname, if you had one.
You can use the NHS website to find your NHS number.
ID and proof of address will be required if you are requesting access to medical records online or via any of the apps.

Temporary Patients
If you are ill while away from home you can register with a local GP practice for immediate and necessary treatment for up to 14 days. After this you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.
Accessing Someone else’s Information
As a parent, family member or carer, you may be able to access services for someone else. We call this having proxy access. We can set this up for you if you are both registered with us.
To requests proxy access, please collect a proxy access form from reception from 09.00 to 17.00.
Linked Profiles in your NHS Account
Once proxy access is set up, you can access the other person’s profile in your NHS account, using the NHS App or website.
The NHS website has information about using linked profiles to access services for someone else.
